Colombia Earthquake Relief Effort | Toronto News

A devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, claiming over 250 lives and leaving thousands injured, with more than 9,000 homes destroyed and 30,000 families displaced. In response, the Colombian-Canadian community in Toronto has rallied powerfully — two GoFundMe campaigns are already raising critical funds, led by Natalia Campo, owner of a popular Colombian restaurant donating 5% of sales, and journalist Camilla Gonzales, whose campaign has surpassed $22,000. Supplies are also being collected at GTA drop-off points for essentials like food and hygiene items. This grassroots movement embodies unity and mutual aid, proving that distance can’t stop compassion when communities come together to rebuild.
